When you get into Waymo, the system is performing all three functions.

It predicts where the other cars are going, where it is going, how objects in the environment such as pedestrians and bikes are behaving.

And that applies judgment to those predictions.

It says, like, we should do X or Y. And then it takes action by actually moving the car in the necessary direction at the required speed based on those predictions and judgments.

That's a fully agentic system.

And that's exactly what's happening with software.

Software is becoming agentic, which means it's not only eating software, but it's actually able to eat entire human workflows.

I think it will disrupt and destroy a lot of industries for sure.

I think it's also going to create a lot of new opportunities.

And there's a lot of jobs that are also very difficult for AI to replace.

We're always going to need restaurants.

We're always going to need hotels.

We're always going to need plumbers and electricians.

We're going to need people to service the millions and millions of robots that are going to exist in our world.

So it's going to create new jobs, but it will certainly disrupt and replace a lot of human knowledge work, human labor.

In the near term, it is easier to disrupt things that are less regulated.

And so the areas that will be slower to change are the ones that are more regulated, spaces like the law or healthcare, where there are merchant guilds that protect those industries and accredit and license the individuals that work in those industries, working in concert with government to license those individuals.

Those things are going to be a lot slower to change, but they will eventually, as safety is proven not to be better with AI, as efficacy is proven not to be better with AI, but it's just going to be a lot slower.

Working on AI internally at Meta, we knew where things were going.

That's actually what led me to leave and start Perceptive.
